While credit for tactical successes, or blame for reverses, must fall to such regional commanders as Timoshenko, Zhukov, Budenny and Voroshilov, there is only one man who can make the huge strategic decisions on which the war will be won or lost. That is Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin never makes a military decision without asking Boris Shaposhnikov what he would...
...defeat was the loss of Rostov in the south, where the weather was almost balmy.

The junkies would rather collect paper, or work in a factory. The classification yards are short of men to sort and bale...
...give up a couple of trips to the movies, of the price of a quart of Scotch, in order to help Harvard reach its quota. There are only two more days to go, and if the University fails to make up the $11,000 still lacking, most of the blame will lie upon the hands of the student body...
